ok this is the deal i wanna do up my engine bay for looks/clean. so far i bought a ebay fst and a sw battery tie down both ploished. and i wanna get the MEVI. how in the hell do i get the rust off parts like the coolant metal lines near the radator. i really don't wanna do colors just clean it up chrome some parts maybe.
any ideas or pics of your guys/grls setups



thanx jeff

 

First, CLEAN IT!! Get some wire loom, zip tie some stuff, paint some stuff and then:

Polish, polish, polish, polish.......

Chrome dip, chrome dip, chrome dip, chrome dip....

Basically, that's the idea to a nice engine bay

Looks like a ton of your parts will need to be replaced if you ever want them to shine. Buy new ones and have them dipped before you even install them.

how to modify taillights like yours araffio

 

good luck with that question!

like araffio said cover up what you can't clean..no need to replace a whole part just for it to be shiny......or clean...try to sand some of it off...


here's mine...


adding color takes your eyes away form the really bad parts just improvise.

 

get a carbon fiber spark plug cover.

yep you bet and i am loving it

 

thats the thing...i got a black max and dont want a lot of color under my hood, but black wire loom just blends in. Ideas guys?

 

I didnt wanna go for color either, just go with chrome if I could. But I used black wire loom on a lot of stuff, to cover up wires and rusty stuff if possible. I just cant seem to pic a color, and that chrome wire loom I hear is useless because when it bends or gets hot i hear it starts to peel. So you kno....

yea, the chrome wire loom isnt that good looking IMO. a really really dark blue would be nice (reall reaaaally dark)
